We recommend putting together your gift giving list and visiting Historic Park City to fill your sled with decorations, stocking stuffers and unique gifts. There is no better place to find everything you need to make this season shine. Plan some time to explore the charming boutiques and art galleries on Main Street, or use our suggestions below to guide your shopping.

The most memorable holidays begin by filling your home with the sights, scents, and sounds of the season. Visit Elegante first to stock up on holiday candles to create a warm welcome atmosphere for family and friends. Follow Elegante on Instagram to learn about the newest holiday arrivals in home décor. Next, stop by Pine for festive stockings, ornaments and pillows.

You’ll want to make sure you have plenty of stocking stuffers on hand for all the elves in your life. Fun, inexpensive gifts are always nice to have close by for the kids, teachers and co-workers. Consider some fun printed socks from Sock City or a Harley Davidson key chain. You’ll find plenty to choose from at the Park City Mercantile including unique bottle openers, note pads, coasters, leather care kits, luxurious soaps, lip balm and healthy snacks made in Utah.

Have someone on your list that is always tough to buy for? Be creative and consider their favorite hobbies, music, movies and food to create a personalized gift package. Whether they enjoy skiing, snowboarding, restaurants, concerts or reading and sipping hot chocolate you will find what you need on Main Street. You may want to take an energy break at La Niche Gourmet and Gifts try a sample from their coffee and gelato bar while you search for inspirational holiday gift giving ideas.

Aloha Ski and Snowboard Rentals can answer all of your questions about the latest equipment and new gift ideas for the outdoor lover. They have an eager staff of aficionados who know just about everything there is to know about skiing and snowboarding.

You’ll find the perfect book for the reader on you shopping list at Atticus Coffee Books & Teahouse or Dolly’s whether it’s travel, romance, career help, or great story they need to start the New Year. You may even find the perfect greeting card to go with your package there.

Foodies will love trying a new olive oil or vinegar from Mountain Town Olive Oil Company. Talk with them about the perfect flavor to go with a favorite dish and sample over 40 different flavors. The Cranberry Pear Balsamic is one that is sure to please during the holidays. They even have gift baskets and boxed sets that make it easy to find the perfect set within your price range.

For the art and music lover on your list, consider tickets to a performance at the iconic Egyptian Theatre. There’s nothing like a once in a lifetime dance, theatre, comedy or music performance to make the holiday memorable. Spending time with a loved one and making a new memory together is priceless!

The holidays are a great time to start a new tradition. Why not start with an enjoyable shopping outing in Historic Park City? Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to stay longer and extend your shopping spree into lunch, dinner or even a one night stay at the Treasure Mountain Inn. You’ll be greeted with and leave with plenty of holiday cheer!
